Mikkel Bentsen is an industrial designer living in Nuuk, Greenland. He is developing a lightweight aluminium e-cargo bike which is designed to cope with the extremes of temperature and terrain found in the country, whilst still being able to carry a load of 150kg.
A unique
aspect of Mikkel's design allows the bike to be adapted for use in heavy snow:
an optional extra frame assembly with two jockey wheels allows the rear wheel
to convert to a caterpillar track whilst a ski is placed underneath the front
wheel. Mikkel hopes to develop prototypes of the design in 2017 and begin
production in 2018.
